Chapter 355: The Four Great Sea Hunting Families

In the mansion of the owner of Liehai Palace on Liehai Island, an old man with a sallow complexion stood respectfully under the main hall.

In the hall, the owner of the island, Ni Quan, sat high up, and the short, fat old man, Mr. Lu, stood beside Ni Quan. Their eyes were now focused on several items and two storage bags on the desk in front of the hall.

"Third uncle, these are all the magic weapons and materials that the monk named Wu Yan sold to Mingxi Tower today. My nephew received him personally according to your instructions. According to my nephew's observation, this person should be the man who killed Xue The mysterious monk of the Demon Guard. These magic weapons are all top-level magic weapons. Moreover, these magic weapons have the special marks of the Blood Demon Sect. During the transaction, he asked his nephew to bring them to you. In short, he said that when he came to the island, he just wanted to stay in peace for a few years and did not want to cause trouble. "

The old man with a sallow complexion and disheveled hair was naturally Ni Yi, the deacon and shopkeeper of Mingxi Tower. After he bowed respectfully to Ni Quan, he told Ni Quan everything that happened after he came into contact with Wu Yan.

"So it seems that this person is really a monk in the alchemy stage who has hidden his cultivation? Fortunately, we did not act rashly. With his ability to kill Xue Kuang and Xue Feng, there is probably no one on this island who can be his opponent. Xian. Nephew, you handled it very well this time." Ni Quan said a few words with emotion, and couldn't help but look at the short and fat old man next to him.

Seeing Ni Quan looking at him, the old man immediately shook his feather fan, pondered for a while, and said: "My lord, since this person has the strength to form the pill stage and has come to Hunting Island to live temporarily two years in advance, I am afraid that most likely he wants to participate in this event." No matter what, this is a good thing for the Lord."

"Mr. Lu is right. Don't you know that I don't know? The island owners of the three major Hunter Sea Palaces in the four sea areas of the Hunter Sea Alliance all want to become the next city lord of Hunter Sea City. However, compared to the other two major Hunter Sea Palaces, Our Sea Hunting Palace in the Sea of ​​Shenmu Island is the weakest in the first four 'Island Seizing Conferences'. The Sea Hunting Palace in the Blood Sea Sea has been the most popular. Wang Tianshui's Sea Hunting Merit Points far exceed those of our own temple and the Sea Hunting Palace in the Soul Refining Island. Even Yan Zang, the master of the sea area of ​​Soul Refining Island, has thousands more points than this palace. If no powerful island master rises up in this palace's 'Island Seizing Conference', I will not only have no chance to win the title of Liehai City. The position of city lord, and even my position as the island lord of Hunting Sea Palace, will be replaced by someone else. In any case, since this person values ​​this island and lives here temporarily, it seems that this is an opportunity for me. Let’s have a frank talk with him.” Ni Quan said with a wry smile on his face.

Within the Hunting Sea Alliance, there are four extremely powerful families, the strongest being the Ma family. The current head of the Ma family is said to be in retreat to achieve the realm of divine transformation. Another tyrannical figure in the Ma family is Ma Ming, the current lord of Liehai City. Ma Jiaguang has eight intermediate island owners, and one high-level island owner.

In addition to the Ma family, those who are slightly less powerful are those who currently control the island owners of the hunting islands in the three sea areas, the Ni family of the hunting island in the Shenmu Island area, the Wang family in the Blood Sea area, and the Yan family in the Soul Refining Island area.

The heads of these three families, the Ni family, are also in the late Nascent Soul stage. However, the Ni family has only seven intermediate island owners, and there are also high-level islands. Even the Caixia Island occupied by the family is not as strong as the Ma family. As for the Wang family and the Yan family, their strength is similar to that of the Ni family.

The Hunting Sea Alliance will change the city lord of Hunting Sea City every fifty years. The position of city lord will be competed by the four families with the highest Hunting Sea Merit Points through five "Island Seizing Conferences".

According to the rules of the Liehai Alliance, the Ma family has occupied the position of Lord of Liehai City for almost fifty years, so naturally they will not fight again this time. However, Ma Ming, who is now the lord of Liehai City, used his position as the lord of Liehai City to develop the Ma family into the number one family above the other three families in just over forty years. The Great Family, how can this make the other three families not jealous?

Unfortunately, these sea hunting merit points are earned by the island owners who participate in each "Island Seizing Conference". In the last four "island seizing conferences", under the jurisdiction of the Wang family and the Yan family, there were three to four monks in the alchemy stage participating in each "island seizing conference". However, under the Ni family's jurisdiction, there were only one or two monks in each session. The participation of famous alchemy monks resulted in the gap in points getting wider and wider.

For this reason, Ni Quan didn't know how long he had a headache. But there is no way. In the sea area of ​​Shenmu Island, because of the special skills practiced by Tiandao Sect monks, there are too few new monks in the alchemy stage every ten years, and even if there are, most of them do not need to participate in the "Island Seizing Conference" at all. He was directly sent by Tiandao Sect to serve as the intermediate island owner within the waters of Shenmu Island.

Today, it has been less than three years since the last of the five "Island Seizing Conferences" and the most critical "Island Seizing Conference" started. So far, on the hunting island in the sea area of ​​​​the Shenmu Island, there are no monks who have signed up to participate. , only one person. This person is the short, fat old Confucian scholar Lu Qian standing next to Ni Quan.

He is worried about this. If the Ni family is at the bottom this year, it is very likely that it will be replaced by several other powerful families that have emerged in recent years, and even the position of the leader of the hunting island may not be preserved.

This was something he never wanted to see. According to the rules, if the newly-emerged families can obtain more sea hunting performance points than the Ni family in the "Island Seizing Conference" they participated in, they will take their place from the Ni family.

"My lord, my subordinates feel that it is better not to go to him for the time being. After all, his motives are not clear yet. Most of the things he sold are monsters, and the spiritual coins he used to buy elixir materials are also magic crystals. Shi. ​​His subordinates guessed that he was probably a demon cultivator. If he came to this island just to avoid the pursuit of the Blood Demon Sect, the island owner would probably be rejected if he went to find him. Instead, we pay close attention to the matter and show kindness from time to time. Since he doesn’t want to be disturbed, we will keep him out of unnecessary trouble. When the registration for the ‘Island Seizing Conference’ is about to begin, the Lord will go find him again. Wouldn't it be a better time to talk about this matter?" Lu Qian suggested next to him.

If this happens, it will naturally be of great benefit to Lu Qian. After all, if two or even three alchemy-stage monks suddenly appeared in the Sea Hunting Palace on Shenmu Island to participate in the island seizing conference, Lu Qian would have more powerful allies, and he would have a greater chance of successfully qualifying as the island owner.

The monks participating in this island seizing conference, if they rely solely on the strength of a family or one person, they will never be able to withstand the beast tide that occurs every ten years.

"Mr. Lu's words are very kind! My dear nephew, go to the cave where Wu Yan is practicing immediately and inform the deacon over there of my intention. By the way, see if that boy from the Yun family has gone to provoke trouble. You must stop this. It happened on this island." After Ni Quan pondered for a moment, he ordered Ni Yi who was standing in the hall.

Ni Chu respectfully agreed and took the order and left.

"The Yun family is not weak. If the two sides really get into trouble, I am afraid that the strength of this palace will be weakened again. This matter is really tricky." Ni Quan sighed.

"My lord, don't worry. If it really doesn't work, my subordinates will come forward. As long as you understand the situation, the Yun family boy will surely understand the pros and cons." Lu Qian thought for a while and said.

"That's fine, but it just delayed Mr.'s cultivation. I feel ashamed in my heart."

"My subordinates have reached the bottleneck in the early and middle stages of the impact. Even if they retreat, there will be no breakthrough. They can only pin their hopes on this island seizing conference. I will run more errands and solve some chores for the Lord so that the Lord can Focusing on cultivation and advancing to the later realm as soon as possible is the most important thing at the moment." Lu Qian smiled.

…

"shut up!"

A loud shout sounded outside the gate of Luo Xing Courtyard, like thunder on the ground. The seven or eight Foundation Establishment Stage monks who were pointing at Luo Xing Courtyard and shouting curses were shocked and their blood surged. They all looked towards the place of the shouting in surprise and uncertainty.

With a cold face, Wu Yan led Xing Xiao, who looked worried, to appear in front of the group of foundation-building monks.

Seeing Wu Yan appear here, the face of the young man from the Yun family suddenly changed, and then he sneered, pointed at Wu Yan and yelled: "Boy, I have been waiting for you for a long time, I didn't expect that you are really brave. , injured my young master’s servant, but instead of running away, he dared to show up in front of my young master.”

"Brother Yun, is it Yun Heng who was injured by this junior? That boy Yun Heng is so useless, how come he can't even fight against a guy at the tenth level of Qi refining stage?" Next to the young man named Yun, a monk wearing a brocade robe, He looked at Wu Yan with an unkind expression and asked the young man named Yun suspiciously.

"That's right, Yun Heng is too useless, isn't he? He was actually disabled by a kid at the tenth level of Qi refining stage? Hey, Brother Yun, do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?" The other one looked pale and looked like he had been in a long time. The overindulged guy answered.

Everyone was talking, pointing at Wu Yan and laughing loudly, not taking him seriously at all.

These people are all friends of the young man surnamed Yun. Except for the young man surnamed Yun, everyone else has rented a training cave on the island to live.

The young man named Yun suffered a big loss today. Taking advantage of the friendship between the Yun family and the Ni family, he went directly to Ni Quan, the owner of Hunting Island, to complain. After Ni Quan comforted him, he did not give any approval. Instead, he asked him to register at the Foreign Affairs Hall first, and after he checked in, he only said that the matter would be dealt with.

Unexpectedly, the young man surnamed Yun had just settled the traumatized Yun Heng, and before he had time to check in at the Foreign Affairs Hall, he met several old friends in the town. After asking, these people immediately started making noises. , encouraging the young man named Yun to take revenge and vent his anger.

During this period, some servants who were arranged by the young man named Yun to keep an eye on the town found out that some of the servants following Wu Yan had rented a house in the Foreign Affairs Palace at the harbor, and were responsible for keeping an eye on Wu Yan's family. The servant, but he didn't go back to resume his life. The monk surnamed Yun led a few friends and rushed here directly to block the gate of Luo Xingyuan, clamoring for Wu Yan to come out and compete again.

Although Wu Yan didn't know the specific story of this matter, after scanning the group of monks with his eyes, combined with the words of the person he had scolded before, he had some guesses in his mind.

"Xing Xiao, go and call out the Liehai Island deacon in the courtyard. I really want to see what the Liehai Island deacon's attitude is towards this kind of thing." Wu Yan saw this group of guys who didn't know whether to live or die. The arrogant man was still yelling and scolding, but no one came forward. He smiled coldly and said to Xing Xiao behind him.
